Sunflower mine pics.

[AZCA jeeper]

Hey all. I ran sunflower mine yesterday with another forum I'm with. This was the first run I have taken my XJ on, and the first run I have ever driven, but I have been on many other runs as a passanger. Learned from my mistakes, was spotted very little, and got some awesome scars. Enjoy!!

These are only a few pics. I'll post more later.

Lunch at the Processing plant. This was where the Ford turned back, and the rest of us continued on the loop

Finally the crack. I avoided it as I was tired, and yes, a little intimidated!!!:doh: I was having some brake trouble, so that was my excuse not to try it. I have since fixed my brake problem and will go back to do the crack. The 4runner had some fun with it though (and a little pucker!!)

And we couldn't finish the day without someone getting stuck!! At least it was only the hitch.

I couldnt have said it better myself!!!!!!!!!

[jpslickorocks]

It was the green jeep that was stuck?? And if so what was he doing there in the first place?

[AZCA jeeper]

I forgot about rockfest!!! :bawl::( OH well, I had fun, and there's always next year.

Yes the green TJ was stuck. All I know is that he was playing in some of those ruts/ditches and when I looked back I saw him there. I don't think he was planing on going any further, as it dropped off about 20 feet into the wash.
